My name is William Petruzzo
I am an artist and a creative explorer.
I began my journey as a child admiring my father’s photography. I took a liking to illustration and cinema, and later to graphic design. My medium has always been visual, until recently when I began experimenting with music.
In my view, art is uniquely human, and that is how I define it: as that which is created by a human with intention. I believe there is a great deal to learn about ourselves and those around us if we give ourselves to the discipline of bringing things to life every day. Even when it’s ugly, art is love and love brings life.
I believe a happy life is one with people you love, and passions you have the freedom to pursue. I create for myself, and for my livelihood. If you are interested in commissioning my services, you can do so through the Petruzzo Photography collective. You can also find me on Mastodon.

I usually shy away from using much in the way of light modifiers while I’m shooting portraits. The extra bulk of carrying around a reflector slows down the organic process that I usually like so much about portraiture. Plus, I like the hunt for those little...Deconstruction of one of my heavily Photoshopped images
Last Saturday I put a few minutes effort into setting up a photo with my friends Jeff & Rivka. The photo was taken in the midst of other things that needed to get done. I took the photo quick and dirty. Then I spent an embarrassingly long time tinkering with it in...New Skills: My First Attempt at 3D Modeling a Room Scene
